		<title>Tranquility in the train yard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, there is nothing like walking under the stars across a train yard on a crisp winter&#8217;s night.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my co-workers inquired about getting a train around the Christmas tree and whether I had any recommendations. Well, maybe she didn&#8217;t ask for a recommendation, but I gave her one anyway.
